Build 0.81.017 available in the early access area has the first multi threaded decoder.Addthread_count=2to your config.ini for the fastest multiple comskip decoding.When only running one instance of comskip on a multicore CPU you can setthread_count=4for even faster processing.

The thread_count is the number of threads each instance of comskip will use to process.

So 3 instances with thread_count set to 2 will use all 6 cores to the maxActually thay will stay at 80% as the thread switching incurs some delays so if you realy want to fully load all cores you need to "overload" it.

Then I am guessing it is better to do 6 threads for my machine to maximize the instances where it is only doing 1 scan. If there are 2 scans going, they will simply be competing for the same 6 cores, and thus getting 50% of the time of the 6 cores (or slightly less due to other resources being utilized).
